About the Item
This exceptional artwork is currently on display and available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art Gallery and online.
In Flutter of Silk, Tom Searles captures the ethereal grace of a ballet dancer mid-performance, her movement seemingly suspended in time. The dancer, poised en pointe, lifts one leg elegantly into the air while her arms stretch—one reaching upward toward the light—expressing a quiet yearning for elevation. Her dress, a vibrant pink, swirls around her in mid-motion, its silky fabric appearing weightless, as if caught in a gentle breeze.
The background is a muted cold blue, painted with broad, expressive brushstrokes that contrast sharply with the delicate figure of the dancer. The blue, almost shadowy in nature, amplifies the dancer's vibrancy, making her figure the undeniable focal point. Light pours down from above, softly illuminating the scene, accentuating the flowing contours of the dress and highlighting her serene face.
The play between light and color brings a sense of depth, making the dancer appear as though she's transcending the canvas itself. The piece blends movement and stillness, dream and reality, where the dancer’s graceful form is both vivid and ephemeral. The overall color palette of bold pinks and muted blues creates a striking, emotional resonance that draws the viewer into the moment.
This expressionist piece is signed by the artist and ready to be displayed. It is available for sale at Signet Contemporary Art in Chelsea, as well as online.
Artist biography:
Tom Searles is a Fine Artist based in London and the Cotswolds. After completing his bachelor's degree in Illustration at the Anglia Ruskin University in 2012, Tom embarked on his freelance portraiture career, showcasing his fine art skills in galleries internationally. Parallel to this, Tom co-founded his own textile print company, comfortably straddling the visual disciplines of illustration and graphic design as Art Director and Creative Producer.
Inspired by the imaginative work of both his paternal grandfather and father, Tom began drawing from an early age, recreating imagery from his favourite classic comic books harnessing his own unique style. For Tom, sports played an integral role in shaping his upbringing. From a young age, he immersed himself in the world of rugby and cricket, dedicating countless hours to training and honing his skills in both disciplines. His passion and talent were evident as he excelled in these sports, earning a place in the youth representative teams. Through the highs and lows of his sporting journey, Tom learned invaluable life lessons, making sport an inseparable part of his identity and character, reflected in his work.
Specialising in acrylic and charcoal, Tom now offers bespoke, custom portrait commissions capturing the subject’s characteristics in an abstract light and with intriguing detail. Heavily influenced by his background in sport, and using varied brushstrokes and tools, his powerfully cinematic, painterly works capture the continuous movement of any scene or subject. Continually pushing his technique further, Tom draws upon the golden age of music and cinema with gentle influences of subdued, muted palettes to create his striking compositions.
